Signbox has recently completed an extensive branding and wayfinding project at Haven Point, a new £17 million world-class leisure complex on the sea front at South Shields, Tyne and Wear. Owned and operated by South Tyneside Council, this development forms a key element of the regeneration of South Shields and the seafront to enhance the Borough's health, wellbeing and tourism offer.

Officially opened by His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge on Friday 22 November; the inspirationally designed facility comprises:

A 25M competition pool and 18M teaching pool, both with adjustable floors for varying age groups and abilities

Signbox have a pedigree in supplying signage to the hotel and leisure sector; one of its core markets with comprehensive projects completed at resorts both in the UK and overseas. It was the extensive portfolio of sign systems that convinced LA Architects to commission Signbox as the signage contractor for Haven Point.

The faceted architectural detail of the building was reflected in graphic elements throughout the sign design and within the glazing manifestations from 3M ‘etched’ vinyl across the extensive glazed areas of the complex. The large bespoke monoliths were engineered to suit the exposed coastal location, with a specification for the structures to be resistant to the corrosive environment and all components hot zinc coated.

Mark Bartlett, Managing Director of Signbox, comments, “Regardless of whether a specification calls for bespoke or off-the-shelf signage solutions, the success of a scheme is dependent on a collaborative process with our project managers working closely with the contractor, architect and designer to understand the form and function of a building. We were delighted to work with LA Architects on this project, from initial specification to successful completion.”
